We are a lifelong Taiwanese American community in the Bay Area - built by the current generation of TAs for the next generation.

Our mission is to develop the Taiwanese American community into whole person leaders through an understanding of heritage, self, and the world.

What is LYF Camp?

Leading Youth Forward (LYF) Camp is a weeklong Taiwanese American youth leadership summer camp designed to be a safe environment for youth to discover and develop who they are.

Campers who have completed grades 4 through 12 can register. Although we largely serve Taiwanese American youth, we encourage anyone of any ethnic origin interested in Taiwanese American culture, values, and leadership to attend.
